Going to be the New Year's Ho...LOL!

I've been catching up my reading on MissGhettobooty's diary, and have found my motivation again. I miss tracking everything, and being able to take measurements and finding a difference. I want to feel that confidence!

I did love how I felt on Friday night, but if you'll notice in the pic of me dancing, my tummy:mad: Still poochy, and that was holding it in. My tummy, when set free of my tight jeans, still looks like I'm about 4 months pregnant, and it's hard to be confident when it's hangin' out there. So out the window it goes. By New Year's Eve. :cool:

Ummm.... either I scared you by having you think, "Oh crap... I need to lose weight or I'm going to be some raving thick-in-the-booty psycho like MGB" or.... hell... I don't know what else to think. hahaaa! Ummm.. you're welcome for the scare? haha!

But on a serious note, little lady... (and yes, I do mean "little freakin' lady." You're tiny!! haha How tall are you if you don't mind me asking?) you look absolutely stunning. If anything, I agree with Mal in saying you look younger than the 24 yr old. Speaking of which, way to go with grabbing yourself a youngin.. MmmMmm.. LOL!!! Oh and another thing, if that's a "pooch," then I guess I must have a damn kangaroo pouch. HA! You're tiny.. tiny... tiny.... yet fabulous.

Hey Dari, I've been using my User CP to surf and I missed your new diary :). My new focus is only 2 days old, but it seems rather contagious on this forum.
 
Thanks Sheryl! I'm not quite 5'2", so the extra weight I still have really shows. LOL! And no, you didn't scare me, just got me excited and gung-ho again. I took the kids to the park this afternoon (finally got a beautiful warm fall day) and while they played, I walked briskly around the perimeter a few times. It felt awesome!

Joe, thanks for stopping in! I hope your new focus is going great, and I'm off to find your diary!
 
I had a flash of an odd feeling this morning. It wasn't really a coherent thought, or depression, frustration, or anything like that. Just the feeling that I am/could/will start gaining and get my weight back up there. LIke when you hit a plateau or gain a lb or two and decide, 'screw it, I messed up, might as well go all the way'.

I'm not planning on following through on this, of course, but I see and understand now how easy it is for some people to fall into this trap, even after losing for so long and seeing success. It's insidious.

So to combat it I'm sitting down after work and making a meal and exercise plan for the whole week, and will stick to it relentlessly.
 
deviations happen from time to time.. it's getting back on track the very next meal that will save you... from yourself :) meal planning is one of my most effective tools it does help a lot - what i like best about it - it gives me play calories...
for when I just want something...

-I just gotta workon the other stuff more :)
 
Howdy Dari,
If your worried about gainimg just keep a few RULES that you have followed so far like maybe NO LATE night eating specially something bad and 2-3 days go for a brisk walk or some kind of exersice and that should keep ya from gaining.Hope you have a nice day tammy:hug2:
 
I have a strong feeling I'm going to be posting on here a lot over the weekend. Need to keep my focus. Got to work at 6 this morning, measured my cereal and milk, and stuck to it. :) Snack was an apple at 8. Two glasses of water so far. Now to get through lunch.

Need to find me a booty-dancing smilie...
 
I am, I am. I'm on my break right now and I'm already starving for lunch. I think I'll eat early. When I planned my calories for today, they were quite low, so I know I have room for an extra snack later if I need it. I might take Abba to a movie, so it'll probably be a chocolate bar. :rolleyes:
 
Well, it's been a few days. And although I gave in to the cravings more often than I should have, I'm still down a tad. Yay me! It was so nice to see a 138 on the scale again. :)
 
Woohooo! Congrats on the 138, girl! :D I hope the food measuring and whatnot is going well. So.... have you figured out what you're going to dress up as on Halloween? I was thinking about going as a crackwhore, then again, around my neighborhood, I might get arrested. LMAO!! Wishing you a great day, Dari!

This is what I'm dressing up as...although I don't look anything like this chick. And as of this moment, I have no boots. My friend that had some to lend me broke the heel off one of hers. :(
